Question

According to the Chronicon Altinate, an anonymous daughter of a ruler from this dynasty supposedly became a dogaressa and may have foiled an alliance between Beato and Princess Cassandra. The “goose-footed” Bertrada was the mother of a ruler from this dynasty, who may have contemplated marrying a Byzantine ruler from Athens. Gothic blackletter developed from a miniscule script named for this dynasty. (10[1])The (10[1])life of a ruler of this dynasty was documented by Notker the Stammerer. Tension from the signing of a bilingual oath at Strasbourg (10[1])preceded this dynasty splitting into regions like Provence (10[1])and (10[1])Lotharingia. A palace at (10[1])Aachen was built for this dynasty under Einhard’s supervision. For 10 points, what Frankish dynasty included the first Holy Roman Emperor, Charlemagne? (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: Carolingian Dynasty [or Carlovingians or Carolingus or Carolings or Karolinger or Karlings; accept Carolingian minuscule script or Caroline minuscule; prompt on Franks or Frankish; reject “Merovingian Dynasty”]
